One-day inquiry into stillbirths in Wales

The terms of reference
for the inquiry were
to examine the awareness, implementation and effectiveness of
current guidance and recommendations across the different sectors
with regard to stillbirth prevention, especially in relation to
poor fetal growth and reduced fetal movements, and where potential
improvements can be made.

In summer 2014 the
Committee agreed to seek an update report from the Minister for
Health and Social Services on the progress made to date in
implementing the Committee’s recommendations. The Minister
for Health and Social Services responded in September
2014.

The
Minister’s update (PDF, 386 KB) stated that despite the
progress made on the engagement of clinical staff, further work
remains to be done to fully implement the Committee’s
recommendations. In light of this response the Committee agreed to
return to the subject in order to consider how effective the Welsh
Government has been in implementing the Committee’s nine
recommendations.
